WATCHES.!
Our stock of watches
speaks eloquently of good
things, and there are
many people whose hap
py experiences confirm
the reliability and worth
of them (
Our success as watch
sellers has not hnnn
f merely fortuitous, but is
the result of the unwav-
cring integrity and knowl
3 edge gained by long
? years of study. Every
waccn we sen is a guar
anteed time keeper.
Thus you have more
reason to consider this
store as an object wor
thy your seeking.

Alliance won from the local team on
the ball diamond yesterday by a score
of nine to four. Tho game was in no
senso a brilliant ono, tho local team

was not in n fit condition to pitch. As
a result ho was touch id up for fourteen
hits. Tho visitors mado one run in the
first inning, five in tho second after
two men wore out, two in tho fifth and
ono in tho seventh. They wore credit
ed with four errors. North Platto mado
